.SH "NAME"
gifasm \- assemble or disassemble multi\-GIF animations
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.HP \w'\fBgifasm\fR\ 'u
\fBgifasm\fR [\-v] [\-a] [\-d\ \fIoutfile\fR] [\-h] [\fIgif\-file\fR]
.SH "OPTIONS"
.PP
\-v
.RS 4
Verbose mode (show progress)\&. Enables printout of running scan lines\&.
.RE
.PP
\-a
.RS 4
Assemble\&. This is the default, and the GifFile(s) are assembled to stdout\&. Note the screen descriptor (including screen color map) is taken from the first file, while other screen descriptors are ignored\&. As this tool requires at least 2 GIF files as input, no attempt will be made to read stdin if none specified on command line\&.
.RE
.PP
\-d OutFileName
.RS 4
Disassemble GifFile (if specified on command line) or stdin, into several files of the form OutFileNameXX, where XX are two decimal digits\&. Obviously up to 100 files can be generated this way\&. Note: in this mode nothing is sent to stdout\&.
.RE
.PP
\-h
.RS 4
Print one line of command line help, similar to Usage above\&.
.RE
.PP
If no GIF file is given, gifasm will try to read a GIF file from stdin, if in disassembly mode only (\-d)\&.
.SH "AUTHOR:"
.PP
Gershon Elber\&.
